We are often asked, how do I prepare my crystals for use?

There are several ways you can cleanse crystals once you receive them. First of all, rest assured that the crystals we offer at Dragon Moon are all purchased through very well established crystal dealers in Canada, who acquire the crystals ethically by fair trade. The crystals we offer are genuine, and if they are man-made or enhanced, we always state that.

With that being said, here are some ideas of common ways to cleanse crystals:

-Sound: bells, singing bowls, chanting and singing

-Reiki: infusing the crystal with channeled energy from source

-Tuning Forks: (weighted are best) Strike the tuning fork on a solid object (not the crystal) to produce sound and pass it over the crystal in a clockwise rotation several times.

-Smoke Cleansing: running the crystal through the smoke of incense, herbs, sage

-Water: be sure your crystal isn't low on the hardness scale, such as satin spar selenite - it may dissolve in water! And we never recommend you drink water that you've soaked crystals in.

-Meditation: holding your new crystal in hand while meditating can help program the crystal to your own energies and intentions. SLEEP is also another wonderful way to attune crystals to your energy. Sleep with them under your pillow, or on your nightstand for several nights.

-Natural Light: Sunlight is a wonderful cleanser of crystals, but don't leave certain crystals out in the sun or on a sunny window ledge for too long! Crystal such as Amethyst tend to fade if left in the sunlight for long periods of time.

-Salt: using salt works well to cleanse most crystals, but because salt can be a bit harsh on softer crystals, we suggest always researching the hardness scale of the crystals you're cleansing.
